Interface Naming Convention
The FS728TP Smart Switch supports physical and logical interfaces. Interfaces are identified
by their type and the interface number. Physical ports 1–24 are Fast Ethernet interfaces, and
physical ports 25–28 are gigabit interfaces. The number of the port is identified on the front
panel. You configure the logical interfaces by using the software. The following table
describes the naming convention for all interfaces available on the switch.
Interface Description Example
Physical The physical ports include Fast Ethernet and Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces and are numbered sequentially
starting from one.
e1, e2, e3
g1, g2, g3
Link Aggregation Group (LAG) LAG interfaces are logical interfaces that are only
used for bridging functions.
l1, l2, l3
LAG1, LAG2
CPU Management Interface This is the internal switch interface responsible for the
switch base MAC address. This interface is not
configurable and is always listed in the MAC Address
